This game touts itself as the spiritual successor of Dungeon Keeper, but it’s so much more than that. As an avid fan of the Dungeon Keeper franchise since the first release in 1995, I have been very picky about my “evil minion master” games. In all the years since Dungeon Keeper 2, no game has come as close to capturing the essence of what made the original as well as War for the Overworld. Not only does it pay a near flawless tribute to the old mechanics, it has added some very useful ones of its own.

This, ladies and gentlemen is how you make a sequel. In its current state, there isn’t much to play aside form multiplayer and two skirmish maps, but with the release date only a month away and a big update just around the corner, there really isn’t a reason that a Dungeon Keeper fan wouldn’t bet this game. I never write reviews on here, but I couldn’t pass this up. This is the game you have been looking for.

This is probably my new favorite game! For any fan of Dungeon Keeper, you should feel right at home here! So many simularities, yet just enough differences to make the game feel new and exciting! I fully recommend this game for anyone wanting to cause a little destruction!

Dungeon Keeper's spiritual succesor indeed. Even in beta I can see it going great places. Bit bummed the change the warlocks a bit, but their still my favorite creature.10/10 would buy beta again. And EA is evil.If you dont know what I mean, look at Dungeon Keeper Mobile.

Love this game. I know it's not complete yet and it lacks a safe feature in the sandbox mode but it is very entertaining, I bought it and played it for like 2 hours straight and it only felt like 5 mins. Thats how you know its a great game! Totally worth the price tag but if you don't like beta games then wait until its finished. I like beta games and I totally recommend it!!! <3

BUT, it hasn't been released yet so i need to give you the present news of the game. There is little content and no finished campaign.You still have skirmish and a new mode (Survival) that you can enjoy but it isn't enough for 28€ in my opinion.The gameplay is coming out as fairly finished. I've encountered one or two crashes and maybe a few glitches but it's nothing that ruins your game completely, just minor obstacles that are easily fixed.I do hope that i will see more minions, buildings, spells and traps. Even though i feel that the current situation with your variety of building is enough i do want more.

It may or may not be the way i want it to be but i'm going to recommend it. I think you should wait until the release of this game and see where it stands though.

But as i said, i have faith in these developers (something that doesn't come easily these days).

Not quite like dungeon keeper, but its the closest thing to it. Unfortunately, that's not the developers fault and to be honest I'm impressed they managed to get this far. EA is to blame, if you didnt already know, as to why dungeon keeper is no longer a major game in our modern age. I have been keeping a close eye on this project for some time now. I must say when it comes to getting that evil dungeon master fix, this game delivers and more. I look foward to seeing what they do next and wish the best for them, I remember a time where I wished that someone would do something to revive my childhood game and these people have delivered. For that I thank you, truly its one thing you have given back to me, and I'm sure to many fans, of the dasterdly dungeon master known as Dungeon Keeper.

Ahhh, this game brings back so many memories, from slapping my minions into lava to building the raddest fortress with torrents, doors and those bells that scare monsters away (sorry its been a while). I've tried the early access and I have to say, it does look really damn good. There are some minor things that need fixing but then again, it is the early access, so.

I bought this game last year and I have not played it much but this will change as the release date is next week! I am so psyched, lets do this duuuudeeess!!!

FINALLY!....wicked game guys, so glad someone has finally revisited this and done a professional job of the make over.....everything i remembered from the original one just tuned up and added to 10x over....love it!!....NOW HURRY UP AND BUILD ON THE MISSIONS!....try ur hardest with story dudes........and you will of correctly ressurected a legend!!

I nearly ♥♥♥♥ myself when I heard that someone was making a spiritual successor to the Dungeon Keeper series. Dungeon Keeper II stands as one of my favorite games of all time, and I still remember my disappointment when I heard Dungeon Keeper III had been cancelled. After playing several beta builds of War for the Overworld, I think I can comfortably say that this game is the one I've been waiting for.

Stepping into the game, I was amazed with what these guys have accomplished so far. The creature and level design does sway a bit "grittier" than Dungeon Keeper, but it doesn't detract from the feel of the game. The rooms are exquisitely detailed, which comes across especially well in the first-person view. The creatures are also gorgeously and creatively rendered, and each unit is fairly easy to pick out among the throng of minions churning around your dungeon. The interface is already fairly intuitive, with a few ♥♥♥♥les here and there. It can be difficult to select the right minion out of a crowd, and certain vital functions--the "rally" command, for example--can be a hassle to get to. The game could also benefit from remappable hotkeys, or any hotkeys whatsoever, for that matter. The devs have stated that hotkeys and remapping are coming in a later patch, though, so I wouldn't dock any points over it.

The tech tree is extensive and well-done, with some solid improvements over the Warlock research tree from Dungeon Keeper II. The tree is sorted into three "veins of evil," with your cultist accruing "sins"--research points, basically--which allow you to unlock "aspects," granting access to new rooms, minions, spells, and rituals. It's all pretty straightforward once you get used to it, but the tutorial doesn't do a great job of explaining how the tech tree works. You can fumble about with trying to attract a specific minion, only to find out later that the minion's specific room and requirements are tied up somewhere in the Veins. It's not a huge problem, however, and I'm confident the devs will add a better tutorial in the future.

The campaign's still on the way, which is the part I was especially looking forward to, so it's impossible to give a solid score at the moment. However, what the devs have accomplished so far is incredible, and very much in the spirit of the original games. If you're a fan of the Dungeon Keeper series, or a fan of base-management games in general, I would definitely recommend checking out War for the Overworld.

Do I recommend this game now? No, it's still very much in development. Dungeon Keeper, as a concept, needs to have as many parts working as possible. Some games can function as a Minimum Viable Product, and this isn't one of them. So if you need something to play RIGHT NOW, I recommend looking elsewhere. Did you play Divinity Original Sin yet? It's superb, go play it.

With that said, this is shaping up to be *wonderful*. The art style, narrator, everything about it just says "Dungeon Keeper 3!" They clearly didn't take the money and run, ala some other kickstarter dev teams, and instead are really pouring a ton of love into it.

I have little doubt that this will be a great game on release. So if you feel like preordering it now, then have at it, your money won't be wasted. But that said, there is absolutally no harm in waiting either. Add this one to your wishlist and pick it up once it's done!

This is basically Dungeon Keeper 2 with better graphics. Still some bugs to work out but it's Early Access so that's normal. I hope for a bug free launch, this game deserves to succeed. There have been some other 'spiritual successors' to Dungeon Keeper 2, like the game Dungeons, but they don't even hold a candle. You like Dungeon Keeper? You'll like this game too.
